Yes, It’s Yet Another Deluge of Open Racism at Breitbart “News”

Horrible people, lots of them
Wingnuts • Views: 28,534

Today Breitbart “News” is continuing the incitement of race-hatred in their white right wing audience, with yet another evil-minded post by Ben Shapiro titled: 5 RACE RIOTS IN OBAMA’S POST-RACIAL AMERICA.

With a grotesque title like that, Shapiro is obviously appealing to the lowest common denominator knuckle-draggers, and you can probably imagine what’s in the comment section: exactly as intended, it’s a horrifying deluge of racial slurs, threats, conspiracy theories and hate speech of all kinds, with openly racist comments sitting right next to whining complaints about being falsely accused of racism.

In other words, the Breitbart “News” business model.

Here’s a sample of this latest outpouring, for posterity; I’ve set it to be hidden by default because it’s sickening.

Click to Reveal

It’s to bad there were not a few shop owners with AR’s. The only good criminal, is a dead criminal. It saves the taxpayers money on welfare, court costs, jail space, and medical care. It also stops them from breeding. I call that a win-win.

[…]

Lincoln was the first Tyrannical President by taking States rights away and giving the Power to the Feds. All under the lie of freeing the slaves.

[…]

A Lot of TRUTH to what you say, He freed the slaves ONLY because he was getting his butt kicked in his war!! The Riots in NYC show it was an unpopular move, They could have avoided alot of crap by transporting all the slaves back to Africa and by picking our own cotton !!

[…]

I’m beginning to see the wrong side won

[…]

Thinning the herd is done all the time out in the wild…same thing here…kill some of the silver backs and the rest of the pride will fall in line!!

[…]

You don’t get it black culture cannot throw out the racebaiters becasue black culture in whole are the violent racists. Obama and Holder are intelligent black men who became radicalized at a young age if you think for a minute that behind the scenes their real goal is not dilution of the white race then you are a blind fool. Even with all the free welfare baby making for blacks they know they cannot move the ball to victory without the help of Hispanic Asian and Indian to dilute the whites and turn the white into the minority. They don’t care that once its done it will be a disaster and the end for the country as we know it with more Hispanic than black, they just want the whites defeated and eliminated. The game is on they are flooding the country with Hispanics Asian and Indian and there are no leaders to stop it. No Paul Reveres to warn and wake up the masses from town to town. When was the last time you have heard of boat loads of white Irish, Italians, Australian, Germans or French coming here by the boat load? Only non white looking comes in now any guess why.

It is The Great War of White Dilution

[…]

Since when are Barry 0bola and his enforcer Eric Holder “intelligent”?

[…]

Intelligent enough to lure in illegals to cross the border to dilute the white race. Intelligent enough to allow minority momma breeders with no fear of prosecution to check the box at the medical centers that they don’t know where baby daddy is to get free baby making welfare benefits. This is their WMD’s and they are winning

[…]

They are just following Soros’s orders. He wants to desperately collapse this nation as his final goal before his misdeeds catch up with him and someone blows his head off. His time is very short.

[…]

As long as they say all white people are racist, then I’ll keep saying all blacks are animals.

[…]

its in the DNA

[…]

Through his actions, deeds and words Obama has done more to damage race relations that anyone in recent history. He will be know as The Great Divider.

[…]

Obama is a firm believer in the “Knock-Out Game” as long as it is perpetrated by one of his “son’s” against a white or asian.

[…]

All in a transformational days work,
O’Bonga.

[…]

When that white camper was executed in New Mexico, the white people in that town should have burned City Hall and the police station to the ground. Those days are fast approaching for the white community.

[…]

Obama=the MOST racist, white-hating person in America…guilty of discrimination above and beyond anything seen in this century. He only cares about himself, hurting white, middle class, non-union, hard-working, tax-paying Americans by getting even for slavery by making America a third-world socialist country that can and will be controlled by force!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[…]

I prefer the Bundy Ranch method to get our police state government employees under control.

[…]

I noticed that Alex never backed down on the Bundy ranch situation. Praise him for that. Those pigs have no right to rule that honest cowboy. F*ck the supposed ranching restrictions. It was all about control. Nobody cares about the supposed wildlife that’s impacted. Cliven is a good person.

[…]

Put one of them in the White House, and they think they own the country.

[…]

Just wait till white conservatives start rioting. That should give ANYONE pause.

[…]

I believe this is part of Barry’s plan as well, it would create major chaos around the country from the entitlement roaches.

You better have your food/water supplies stocked up and loaded for bear when this happens!

[…]

Actually, the chaos would occur mainly in the mega-cities. The time of the mega-city is over. Their poison affects the entire state during elections. Let them burn!

[…]

Well looky there we found Barry’s son after all! LOL

[…]

Yea this sort of thing happens in my neighborhood too!
Well, it doesn’t happen “at all” in my neighborhood……
From what I read in the comments sections.
America is starting to have “Negro Fatigue”.

[…]

The bros are just getting their school suplies

[…]

Skool?
Wut dat be?

[…]

Their sense of entitlement is sickening. Sad they will never quit making unwed babies and acting below apes and become productive

[…]

Obumbles is a whitey-hating racist. That sums it up perfectly.
So is the cow (beard) he married.
No doubt the little darlings hate whitey plenty as well.
The only color that family likes is GREEN.

[…]

Most peasants will not wake up until they are watching their women and children be raped in the streets. Lingering question - if they wont fight for freedom, do they deserve it?

[…]

Goes to prove…you can take the a savages out of the jungle, but you can’t expect them to ever act civilized. Savages will always be savages…

[…]

Obama, the white-black who never came to terms with his own racial divide cannot help this nation overcome ‘black’ racism.

[…]

He’s both racist and muslim. His policies and comments prove it.

[…]

Refuse2Renig

[…]

Everytime this happens all you see is BLACK faces doing the violence and crimes. Animals!!!!!

[…]

Blks will never gain the RESPECT of others until they are FREED from the Socialist Democrat Plantation and quit looking up to their House NIG-GROWS

Obama didn’t claim the US was post-racial. That was idiots who thought electing a black president meant we were post-racial.

In fact, he’s said the opposite.

11 lawhawk  Aug 12, 2014 11:11:22am

Black men killed by law enforcement under dubious circumstances. Excessive force used. People protest with peaceful vigils. Police turn out armed for bear, complete with dogs, riot gear, etc., and for the most part the protests are peaceful, until a small group breaks off and ransacks several businesses.

That’s not a race riot. That’s a bunch of vandals who should be prosecuted for breaking the law.

None of those actions diminish the message of the protests, or the fact that law enforcement has an excessive force problem, and that black men are disproportionately at the receiving end of this. Institutionalized racism is still alive and well in the US.

And the knuckle dragging troglodytes at Breitbart are symptomatic of the mentality perpetuating the racism.

15 Eclectic Cyborg  Aug 12, 2014 11:14:30am

For anyone who hasn’t seen this film, I highly recommend it. Though given recent events, it’s taken on a different meaning.

In the film, Williams plays a mentally disturbed Photo clerk who fixates on and obsesses over a seemingly perfect suburban family, only to go off the rails when he learns the perfect family is not so perfect after all.

I always thought it was an excellent dramatic acting job by Williams, but now I can’t help but wonder how much of his own struggles with personal demons he put into the character of Sy.

16 Decatur Deb  Aug 12, 2014 11:14:57am

“Post-racial”? Sounds like the Supreme court talking, not POTUS.

17 lawhawk  Aug 12, 2014 11:15:06am

The Obama Administration hasn’t said we’ve gone post-racial. In fact, they’ve argued the opposite because states are engaging in racial discrimination and depriving minorities the right to vote (their argument fell on deaf ears at the Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder, but the evidence is overwhelming and damning that certain suspect states and local jurisdictions do discriminate on the base of race).

It should be a giveaway that the Administration was arguing against the county’s claim that VRA Section 4 should be struck down.

18 Charles Johnson  Aug 12, 2014 11:15:11am

Do we know for sure that’s the son of the Ferguson chief of PD?

I’m going to drop this link in here again…

Not a Tea Party, a Confederate Party

“…Early in Reconstruction, white and black working people sometimes made common cause against their common enemies in the aristocracy. But once it became clear that the upper classes were going to keep their ill-gotten holdings, freedmen and working-class whites were left to wrestle over the remaining slivers of the pie. Before long, whites who owned little land and had never owned slaves had become the shock troops of the planters’ bid to restore white supremacy.

Along the way, the planters created rhetoric you still hear today: The blacks were lazy and would rather wait for gifts from the government than work (in conditions very similar to slavery). In this way, the idle planters were able to paint the freedmen as parasites who wanted to live off the hard work of others.

The larger pattern. But the enduring Confederate influence on American politics goes far beyond a few rhetorical tropes. The essence of the Confederate worldview is that the democratic process cannot legitimately change the established social order, and so all forms of legal and illegal resistance are justified when it tries.

That worldview is alive and well. During last fall’s government shutdown and threatened debt-ceiling crisis, historian Garry Wills wrote about our present-day Tea Partiers: “The presiding spirit of this neo-secessionism is a resistance to majority rule.”

re: #40 Pie-onist Overlord

According to his screen cap, the FAA is apparently limiting flights in and out of Lambert Airport due to police activity over Ferguson (the airport is less than 3 miles from town). They are directing which runways to operate and for civilian traffic to steer clear as a result of ongoing police action.

It isn’t because they’re worried about planes getting shot. They’re worried that planes on approach might collide with police helicopters. It would also appear to limit the news helicopters from covering the protests as well.

Here’s the text of the official NOTAM:

!FDC 4/2599 ZKC MO..AIRSPACE FERGUSON, MO..TEMPORARY FLIGHT
RESTRICTIONS WITHIN AN AREA DEFINED AS 3 NM RADIUS OF 384428N0901812W (ST LOUIS VORTAC STL129011.0) SFC-3000FT TO PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES. PURSUANT TO 14 CFR SECTION 91.137(A)(2) TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE IN EFFECT. ONLY RELIEF AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS UNDER DIRECTION OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE AUTHORIZED IN THE AIRSPACE. AIRCRAFT LANDING AND DEPARTING ST. LOUIS LAMBERT AIRPORT ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS TFR. ST. LOUIS COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT, TELEPHONE[no phone numbers allowed], IS IN CHARGE OF THE OPERATION. KANSAS CITY /ZKC/ ARTCC, TELEPHONE[no phone numbers allowed], IS THE FAA COORDINATION FACILITY. 1408121315-1408182000

UPDATE:
They’re notifying fliers, but it doesn’t actually require planes on approach to STL to change approach as aircraft landing or departing STL are exempt from the NOTAM. It means that a general purpose aircraft shouldn’t stray into this area because of ongoing police activity.

In other words, this is a nothing burger. It’s an alert to pilots to watch for low flying aircraft in vicinity of Ferguson, which is on the edge of the flight paths into STL. But flights into STL aren’t affected

None of the people arrested for looting were from Ferguson according to KTVI, they came in from St. Louis city.

If this was happening before the era of smartphones, twitter and youtube, it might be a reasonably effective tactic?

In 2014? Forget about it. Images and stories will get out.

We increasingly see that video of police brutality no longer makes any difference to pubic pinion or to the legal process.

America was shocked by video from Selma in 63. Today, half of the country celebrates seeing black peoople brutalized while opining that the real problem is black on black crime.

As for convicting cops of murder or excessive force? Ask the father of the man that Fullerton police literally beat to death…on camera.

Acquitted in trial, and the jurors said afterwards that the officers had followed their training.

Our police forces have turned into paramilitary units. When you think of cops responding to a riot, you think guys in blue with riot shields and helmets, you don’t think men in fatigues and gas masks wielding assault rifles.

The whole idea of police wearing camouflage, hiding rather than being obviously and intentionally visible, bothers me on a visceral level. It’s a method of control fundamentally at odds with our version of a free, civilized, polite society.

Not much of a fan of sneaky speed traps or unmarked traffic patrol cars, either.

re: #88 Aunty Entity Dragon

It’s all part of the way surplus military gear is given to local police, regardless of need.

Congress created the military-transfer program in the early 1990s, when violent crime plagued America’s cities and the police felt outgunned by drug gangs. Today, crime has fallen to its lowest levels in a generation, the wars have wound down, and despite current fears, the number of domestic terrorist attacks has declined sharply from the 1960s and 1970s.

Police departments, though, are adding more firepower and military gear than ever. Some, especially in larger cities, have used federal grant money to buy armored cars and other tactical gear. And the free surplus program remains a favorite of many police chiefs who say they could otherwise not afford such equipment. Chief Wilkinson said he expects the police to use the new truck rarely, when the department’s SWAT team faces an armed standoff or serves a warrant on someone believed to be dangerous.

Today, Chief Wilkinson said, the police are trained to move in and save lives during a shooting or standoff, in contrast to a generation ago — before the Columbine High School massacre and others that followed it — when they responded by setting up a perimeter and either negotiating with, or waiting out, the suspect.

A spectre of Columbine or other school shootings also informs this - law enforcement wants tools at its disposal to deal with worst case scenarios, and the public by and large will go for it, as long as someone else is paying.

We’re not just talking about MRAPs, but all kinds of gear, from extended magazines to silencers for long rifles (sniper rifles).

NRA Warns That Allowing Alcohol At Texas Gun Shows Could Backfire

The National Rifle Association sent out an alert to its members late Monday warning that an initiative in Texas to allow alcohol at gun shows could backfire and have a “devastating impact” on NRA events.

The warning came after the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission proposed a new set of rules last week that would allow alcohol to be served at gun shows across the state. The catch was that organizers of the events had to disable all firearms on display, ban live ammunition, and prohibit buyers from taking possession of their weapons on site.

After Obama has been restrained, the GOP can then work on “identifying, lifting up, and raising up, and nominating, and electing the next President of the United States whom God will use to restore the soul of America.”

Yep. And they are going to cause a bad situation to get even more ugly.

I am worried about this becoming a national thing. Too much has happened this summer that is similar. Too much frustration is building and it might just blow up in a big way.

The cops are being very arrogant and it is all going to go the wrong way. If they get heavy handed, so will the people all borne out of complete frustration.

I can see a repeat of the ‘65 through ‘67 cities on fire in America being repeated. This time though it won’t be totally about race, it will be about social injustice.

re: #68 Aunty Entity Dragon

Blacks are also disproportionately pulled over by police in Ferguson. Whites make up about one-third of the city’s population but accounted for just 12.7 percent of traffic stops by Ferguson police last year. African-Americans made up 93 percent of the arrests following those stops, yet whites were more likely to be caught with contraband.

Doesn’t necessarily mean that whites actually carry contraband in their cars at a greater frequency. What it most likely means is that cops pull over and harass blacks on any made up pretext but only pull over whites when they actually have strong probable cause.

Still a rather a glaring indication of institutionalized racism no mater how you slice it. :(

Snowden vacation.

Robeson stayed at the Barvikha Sanatorium until September 1961, when he left for London. There his depression reemerged, and after another period of recuperation in Moscow, he returned to London. Three days after arriving back, he became suicidal and suffered a panic attack while passing the Soviet Embassy.[243] He was admitted to The Priory hospital, where he underwent electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and was given heavy doses of drugs for nearly two years, with no accompanying psychotherapy.[244]

During his treatment at the Priory, Robeson was being monitored by the British MI5.[245] Both intelligence services were well aware of Robeson’s suicidal state of mind. An FBI memo described Robeson’s debilitated condition, remarking that his “death would be much publicized” and would be used for Communist propaganda, necessitating continued surveillance.[246] Numerous memos advised that Robeson should be denied a passport renewal which would ostensibly jeopardize his fragile health and his recovery process.[237]

Apparently, Chris Pratt had auditioned for GI Joe a few years back and lost the part because he was out of shape. He said he had convinced himself he was never going to try out for another action movie because he didn’t feel he could do it. He had to be talked into trying out for GotG.

To top it off, James Gunn didn’t even intend to audition Pratt for the part and had to be talked into it. But after the audition, he was so enthusiastic about Pratt playing Star-Lord that he was willing to use CGI to change Pratt’s physique if he couldn’t get in-shape before filming began.

A spectre of Columbine or other school shootings also informs this - law enforcement wants tools at its disposal to deal with worst case scenarios, and the public by and large will go for it, as long as someone else is paying.

Cop shoots and kills unarmed kid. Witnesses say he had his hands up. Cops overheard calling protestors “animals”. Windows broken, 3 stores looted. Cops respond with show of force, tear gas, declaration of “War Zone”, threaten press, shoot people with rubber and wooden bullets and tell people who are being tear gassed in their houses to “Go home”.

If you’re referring to who I think you’re referring to, it might not be him.

Two reasons:

1) The punctuation used in those posts are grossly illiterate, usually making the posts borderline illegible. I still don’t know if it’s done on purpose, or is due to some sort of disability.

2) This person always stands by his posts, even the trollish ones. For example, the ones where he was making excuses for George Zimmerman.

There’s a pretty close correlation between not giving a shit about writing legibly and not giving a shit about logic and/or being an awful person.

196 Mattand  Aug 12, 2014 1:22:05pm

If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.

However, the person in question asserted that since the 911 operator in the Martin case did not explicitly tell Zimmerman not to tail Martin (as in “Don’t follow that person, sir”), Zimmerman was within his rights to stalk the kid.

The corker was when Zimmerman admitted that he knew full well that he was being told to leave Martin alone, but confronted him anyway.

Again, not a stretch to see this person side with Ferguson PD.

And yes the kid left a weird video

Nobody here has suggested that. Most people aren’t even focusing on the cop himself, but on the systemic racism that exists in our judicial and political systems.

The only story we’re getting is from the police force who are refusing to interview a witness who saw get Michael Brown get blown to pieces in front of him.

As has been pointed by others, any other police force would have interviewed the witness with hours of the incident.

He can’t link to a video because he is seriously confused, what I believe he is referring to is…

Michael Brown posted a haunting message on Facebook last week as he prepared to enter a new phase in his life: college.

“if i leave this earth today,” he wrote to a friend, “atleast youll know i care about others more then i cared about my damn self.”

Never saw the whole post so I don’t know what the context is, but I’m quite sure it wasn’t followed by:
“That is why I’m going to go out and walk in the street until a cop comes along and guns me down.”

Yes. This was trivial to find and has been a large part of the story. It’s been talked about here.

The P.D. has just related the story the officers on the scene reported , which I am extremely skeptical of .

That is the official police explanation, though.

It is definitely a homicide, what is in question is if it is a justifiable homicide.

I think the main problem here lies with the incomprehensible way you’re using the word ‘official’. How is the explanation already given by the Ferguson police not ‘official’?

re: #222 wrenchwench

This is what my first statement was , and I corrected myself as to “video ” which should have been facebook post . You know that , if you read the following posts . So obviously it is not what you are claiming . I did not say or imply that we don’t have the whole story without that video .That is your redaction of what I said .

How is something that he posted to Facebook awhile ago in any way, shape, or form part of the story of him being shot?

And again, why do you type in such a fucked-up manner? Is there any actual reason?

I’ll ignore the first part of your post since it becomes obvious you’re just itching for a verbal fight . As for how I type ? I guess you’ll just have to live with it , since I can express my opinion successfully inspite of any errors in punctuation . I really don’t bother with spellcheck and my ego is not that large that I fear embarrassment from a stranger on the internet .

So you’ll ignore a completely legitimate and reasonable question, because I’m ‘itching’ for a fight. Sure. You just don’t actually have any explanation, because you’re talking idiocy.

And no, you’re not making ‘errors’. You’re deliberately putting spaces before periods, that’s not a bunch of errors, it’s an intentional thing. It’s irritating to other people: Why do you do it? Giving your general style of conversation, the conclusion is rapidly becoming “Just to be an asshole”.

You are one really rude little person . Do you have an emotional problem ? It is stunning to me that you think my punctuation errors are intentional and have some meaning other than they are just errors . Are you serious ?
You take note of such trivia , such as leaving a space after a period ??? And then make an argument over that ? Do you use the f-bomb on a regular basis in your communications with other people ?
And you find it easy to insult and engage in name calling over another’s opinion . Yet you have a problem with a space after a period . Seriously ?

I am not presenting an argument , I am expressing my opinion. And yes , premonitions do happen and have happened . Whether you believe that or not is your opinion .

Evidence that premonitions happen please

How is it possible to make the exact same error in every single sentence?

Yet you have a problem with a space after a period . Seriously ?

Yes. It makes what you type ugly as shit and harder to read, and there’s no reason at all to do it. The reason why we have orthographic conventions is for the sake of other people; you apparently could give a shit.

re: #233 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

Man such anger ! Over the improper spacing of a period ? Hard to read ? No , that’s not your problem at all . BTW- your last sentence contains a grammatical error . Do you know what it was ?

This account is now suspended, for the second time. He pulled exactly the same trolling bullshit with his previous account, “Aligarr.”
